History:

The Northern Pikes were formed in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in early 1984. The combination of exciting live performances, well-received indie albums and the continuous stream of demos finally landed them a contract with Virgin Records.

1987 marked the Pikes first album released on a major record label and featured the hit singles "Teenland", "Things I Do For Money" and "Dancing In A Danceclub", introducing the band to a wider audience and expanding the touring range to all parts of Canada and the USA.

In 1993, after 10 years of intense road life & nonstop traveling, 8 Juno award nominations, 4 Gold records & 1 Platinum record, the band elected to go on an indefinite hiatus.

In 2000, the original members reunited, releasing a greatest hits album, new material, and going on tour. Several years later Merl Bryck announced his departure from the group, but joined them for one more show when The Northern Pikes were inducted into the Western Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 2012.

Today, the group is still going strong and consists of original members Jay Semko, Bryan Potvin & Don Schmid.
